Pet care experience
Work With Dogs & Play With Dogs
Pets have always been in my home growing up and I have been working with dogs for over 2 years professionally and absolutely love what I do! I just recently graduated from the “raising a puppy club” as well have a senior dog of my own! I’ve taken great pride in learning what I can about dog behavior and proper care while I manage and work in a doggy daycare. I have seen everything and I’m shy to nothing when it comes to dogs, regardless of their play style, temperament, energy levels, etc. I have worked with dog breeds large and small and I hope to be able to provide great care for your fur babies and love and respect them as I do my own.
Cat care experience
Haley also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
I know the feeling of leaving your pet with a new sitter well, and know how incredibly important it is to find someone that not just you trust, but your pet trusts as well. Because of this it’s very important to me that a meet and greet with both the owner and pet is hosted before the scheduled service as to ensure trust and peace of mind not just to your pup but to you as well! I am trained in proper care specifically for dogs and understand the behaviors of cats well, as I raised my own kitten as well as cats growing up. I have learned how to read dog body language and behavior to better understand how they are feeling or what it is I can do to help them. This is something that I am very proud of and hope that I am able to use to help make sure your pets are getting the best care possible. It is important to me that your pets feel safe and trusting of me in their space. I will follow provided instructions for your pet, daily photos/updates, and make sure that the pets in my care feel safe and protected while I am there.
Ratings and reviews
Bonnie had such a good time with Haley! Haley came over before the visit to make sure Bonnie was comfortable with her and to get all the info. She sent plenty of pictures and videos of Bonnie having a great time! She even bought Bonnie a new toy that she LOVES! It was a very stress free experience and I would absolutely use Haley again for any pet sitting needs in the future! Thank you so much Haley! Bonnie and I love you 💖
Haley was so kind and professional. We had a meet and greet before the actual sitting date and she was so receptive and respectful of the boundaries Skippy has. It’s difficult to find people who will listen when we tell them that our dog loses not like to be pet or handled. Many people have the attitude of “but all dogs love me” and then not be respectful of those boundaries. I can tell Skippy really likes her and will become best buds. we got plenty of updates. Will definitely be booking with Haley again.
Haley is my dog’s newest best friend
Haley was great and our dog loved her! She was very friendly and saved us by coming last minute. I definitely recommend her! Will be using her again.
Haley has loved animals,especially dogs and cats, for all her life. She has 2 dogs and a cat at home and grew up with a beagle (13 years). She’s worked for two years as a manager of a dog day care and once in awhile works at the boarding part. The dogs at the day care love her as do the two dogs she walks two days a week. She is an asset to anyone needing love for their animal (s).
Haley has been our go-to pet sitter for Max, Havok, and Tabitha, and we couldn't recommend her more! I think our fur babies secretly get excited when they see the suitcases come out because they know Haley is coming to stay with them. She is dependable, thoughtful, kind-hearted, patient, and truly has a gift with animals. Beyond her genuine love for pets, Haley is professionally trained in dog behavior and works full-time at a dog daycare, so she brings a level of knowledge and experience that gives us complete peace of mind. When we traveled to Hawaii, we were able to fully relax and enjoy our vacation, knowing our pets were receiving the very best care. Haley kept them happy, active, entertained, and loved, and she treated them like they were her own. If you're looking for someone who is trustworthy, experienced, and truly passionate about animals, Haley is the one. We wholeheartedly recommend her for any pet care needs. Your pets will love her just as much as ours do!

Schedule
I work full-time at a dog daycare in downtown Austin. When I am not working, I have full availability to check in on your babies, do dog walking, or if housesitting, will be able to stay at your home full-time and drive to and from work. My work schedule fluctuates depending on staff availability, but overall I will always make time for you and your pet.

- Some things I would like to know in advance about your pup are: - Temperament Level: Is your dog reactive or in any way? If so, what triggers it? Is your dog more high energy or low energy? Do they tend to get anxious? If so what typically helps? - Play Style: How does your dog enjoy to play? Are there specific toys or activities that interest your dog more than others? If so let me know! - Allergies/Diet: Are treats allowed or provided? If so how many treats does your dog typically receive and when? Is your dog on a specific diet? - Training/Commands: Does your dog listen to specific commands or are you actively training? If so let me know so I can make sure they are implemented so their daily routine is not disrupted!
